Yes<br />Miller? No<br />Rodman? No<br />Nash? No<br />Moncrief? No<br />Dumars? No<br /><br />Fine, maybe some people would take Nash over Payton because ... I don&#39;t know, maybe they like spunky white guys or something. But no one would ever trade Payton straight up for Rodman, it&#39;s just inconcievable. Rodman is a one-dimensional player and while he&#39;s fantastic at that aspect of his game, he offers you a complete zero on offense. <br /><br />It&#39;s just bizarre. Like they forgot about GP until the fifth round and then said, oh, wait, remember that guy who was perennially on all-NBA teams? What was his name again? You know, the guy who lived on all-defensive teams for an entire decade? Went to OSU? Gary something ... ?PNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10338259096142095348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-31170190636415904592011-06-20T17:23:54.728-07:002011-06-20T17:23:54.728-07:00Walton, Nash, and Rodman are defensible.

But there is at least an argument.<br /><br />But you&#39;re 100% right: only an idiot would take Miller, Dumars or (?!) Sidney f-ing Moncrief over Glove. Have these guys ever watched basketball.<br /><br />Keep up the good work.Teddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00436559083463615389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-18594272307802478672011-06-20T11:43:34.449-07:002011-06-20T11:43:34.449-07:00WORD.

Perhaps Dumars edged out GP in that critical &quot;7-foot Euro Stiffs Taken 2nd Overall&quot; category.chunkstyle23http://www.supersonicsoul.comnoreply@blogger.com
